For IAPM, cooperation with the university is relevant given the institutions’ shared focus on management education and the preparation of professionals capable of working in contemporary organisational and technological environments.
Both institutions place emphasis on developing competencies required for professional activity in management. Academic cooperation can therefore provide a basis for exchanging educational practices, approaches to teaching and learning, and experience in professional training.
